The document provides an operating procedure for a Perkins generator with 5 steps: 1. Pre-start checks including visual inspection of components, checking fluid levels, and condition of the battery and oil. 2. Start-up procedure which includes switching off loads, starting the control panel, and turning the generator breaker and start button while monitoring gauges. 3. Operation monitoring including gradually connecting loads, regularly checking gauges and indicators, and refueling as needed. 4. Shutting down by first unloading the generator then turning it off and performing post-operation checks. 5. Emergency shutdown procedure in case of any abnormal conditions.

- Inspect the fuel and coolant levels.
b. Fluid Levels:
- Ensure there is sufficient fuel and coolant in the respective tanks.
c. Battery:
- Check the battery terminals for corrosion.
- Ensure the battery is fully charged.
d. Oil Level:
- Check the oil level and top up if necessary.
2. Start-up Procedure:
a. Switch Off Electrical Loads:
- Disconnect all electrical loads from the genset before starting.
- Set the selector switch to Genset
- Set the ATS to standby mode
b. Control Panel:
- Turn on the control panel and verify that all indicators are normal.
c. Start the Genset:
- Turn on the breaker of Genset
- Turn the start key and press the start button
- Monitor for any abnormal noises or vibrations during startup.
e. Monitor Gauges:
- Watch the gauges for oil pressure, coolant temperature, and voltage. Ensure they stabilize within normal
ranges.
3. During Operation:
a. Load Connection:
- Gradually connect electrical loads to the generator. - Avoid sudden or heavy loads that could damage
the genset.
b. Monitor Gauges and Indicators:
- Regularly check gauges for oil pressure, coolant temperature, voltage, and frequency. - Respond
promptly to any abnormal readings.
c. Fuel Levels:
- Keep an eye on the fuel level and refill as needed to prevent the generator from running out of fuel.
4. Shutting Down:
a. Unload the Generator:
- Disconnect electrical loads before shutting down the genset.
c. Shut Down:
- Turn off the generator using the designated controls.
d. Post-Operation Checks:
